Do you wanna be a [tos]ser?
 Due
to a prior commitment to Mary Poppins, Australia's original
Hunter Michael Lindner sadly won't be joining our
return season. Whilst we proudly cheer on Michael's next
project, in his well-warmed place is an opportunity for a unique
individual to join the Australian [title of show] family.
Read here for the casting brief , and register your interest via
AT2 or contact Magnormos on

Tax time support for Magnormos
 It's
that time of year when the shoe-box of receipts come out isn't it?
If you're looking for a last-minute reduction to your tax
liability, or you'd prefer to decide where your tax dollars go rather than
the folks up in Canberra, why not consider supporting Magnormos today
with a quick, painless donation through the Australian Business Arts
Foundation?
Magnormos is working with the Australian Business Arts
Foundation (AbaF) to make your donation (of over $2) tax deductible.
All you need to do is
simply click here and fill out a quick online form, and AbaF will do the
rest!
The Magnormos 2010 season is the most ambitious season in the
company's history, and includes a range of historic opportunities that are
enabling Magnormos to grow in exciting new directions.
As an independent theatre company who has never
successfully received federal or state support, we rely heavily on box
office, sponsorships, local council support, and the generosity of donors.
EVEN THE SMALLEST DONATIONS HELP
So don't hesitate to give $5, $10 or even $10,000 - we will accept all
amounts with extreme gratitude, providing you the security of knowing that
every bit will help the development of new musical theatre in Australia.

their lucky audiences – many years of therapy!
